BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the container-shaped member of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The container-shaped member 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is a box-shaped member made of a hard synthetic resin, which has a bottom surface composed of a peripheral surface portion 2 and a bottom surface portion 3 and has an open top surface to form an opening portion 4. The surface portion 2 is formed in a tapered shape that gradually decreases toward the bottom surface portion 3.
A large number of holes 6 are formed in the peripheral surface portion 2 and the bottom surface portion 3. The size of the hole 6 can be appropriately set according to the application, and when there is a substance to be stored or filled in the container-shaped member 1, it is preferable to set the size such that these do not fall off.

The bottom surface portion 3 has an opening 5 at the center of the bottom surface.
A hollow columnar portion 5 that is closed or open and projects upward is formed integrally. The column portion 5 has a truncated cone shape and its upper end is set to be substantially the same as or slightly lower than the upper end of the peripheral surface portion. The top end surface of the pillar 5 may be closed or open. With the above configuration, when the container-shaped members 1 are stacked vertically, the upper container-shaped member 1 enters the inside of the lower container-shaped member 1 and the pillar portion 5 of the lower container-shaped member 1 moves upward. 5 of the container-shaped member 1
It can be stored by stacking it in the hollow inside. Further, in the illustrated example, the container-shaped member 1 is shown as a truncated quadrangular pyramid box shape having a substantially square cross section, but this shape is not particularly limited, and the cross section may be circular, elliptical, polygonal or any other shape. It may have a shape of. It is preferable that the cross-sectional shape is set to a known shape that can be continuously combined in the same plane because the combination is easy.

Next, in the container-shaped member 1 shown in FIG. 4, a hollow box portion 7 is provided along the outer periphery on the upper and / or lower portion of the peripheral surface portion 2 together with the column portion 5, and the box portion 7 also has the box portion. A configuration in which the same filling material as that of the pillar portion 5 is filled from the opening 7 will be illustrated. In this case, since the filling is also filled in the box portion 7, the effect of the filling is more remarkably improved. In the illustrated example, the example in which the filling material is also filled in the column portion 5 is shown, but the configuration is such that only the upper and lower box portions 7 are filled, and only one of the upper and lower box portions 7 of the peripheral edge portion 2 is filled. Alternatively, a filler may be filled in an appropriate hollow according to the application, such as a configuration in which these and the pillar portion 5 are filled. Since the box portion 7 is formed in an annular shape along the outer circumference of the container-shaped member 1, the strength of the outer circumference is increased when a heavy weight resistant material such as concrete is filled, and the pressure in the inward and outward directions is increased. Resistant to. Therefore, even if the pillar portion 5 remains hollow and a load is applied from above, the outer periphery is constrained,
The lower end of the pillar portion 5 does not weaken by expanding.

Next, in the container-shaped member 1 described in each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the vertical strength is increased by the pillar portion 5. Further, the column 5 may or may not be provided with a hole in the peripheral wall. Since at least one of the pillar portions 5 is open, the filling material can be housed in the hollow inside. For example, the pillar portion 5 may be filled with a material having buoyancy and a low specific gravity such as styrofoam or styrene foam, or the opening 5a of the pillar portion 5 may be closed with a lid member to enhance the buoyancy of the container-shaped member. Any substance, such as cement or other high-strength substance to increase load resistance or heavy specific gravity so that it can be submerged, can be integrally filled according to the application. In the container-shaped member 1 of the first embodiment, a box portion 7 having a channel-shaped cross section may be formed inside the folded portion of the flange portion F formed on each peripheral wall surface 2. Can be filled with a filler. In this way, the filler is used only for the pillar portion 5,
Alternatively, the box portion 7 inside the folded-back portion of the pillar portion 5 and the collar portion F,
Alternatively, it is possible to improve the strength of the container-shaped member 1 by filling only the box portion 7 inside the folded portion with an appropriate combination according to the application. In the illustrated example, the number of the pillar portions 5 is one, but if a plurality of pillar portions 5 are provided on the bottom surface portion 3, the effect can be further enhanced. It is preferable that the substance to be filled is a filler that is adhered or fixed integrally by filling the inside of the pillar 5, but in the case of a substance that is not integrated, a bottom lid that closes the lower opening of the pillar is provided and connected to the bottom. However, the type of filling material is not limited in the present invention.

A lid 40 may be provided to cover the opening 4 on the upper surface of the container-shaped member 1. The lid 40 is a substantially square cover having a hole 42 into which the upper end of the column 5 is fitted and a hole 43 for ventilation and water passage. A locking piece 41 is provided at a midway position on the outer circumference of each side. Therefore, it is possible to engage with the locking hole H formed in the upper portion of the peripheral surface portion 2 of the container-shaped member 1. Since the outer side of the engagement hole H is covered with the folded piece of the flange portion F, the engagement portion is protected. In addition, this collar part F
May be provided at the lower peripheral edge instead of being provided at the upper peripheral edge as shown. As a result, when soil is put in the container-shaped member 1 to grow lawns and plants, the plants serve as a tread surface to protect the plants and rainwater can enter.

Here, the partition wall 51 forms a plurality of divided cylindrical portions 52, and by covering the upper portion or the lower portion with a lid member (not shown), the partition wall 51 functions similarly to the pillar portion of the above-described embodiment. Further, it may be configured such that the filling material is filled without opening the upper and lower portions without providing the lid material. In this embodiment, there is no overlapping portion even when stacked when not in use, and the height does not become low. However, since the original functions of the other container-shaped members are the same as those in the above-mentioned embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. Further, a box portion 7 is provided on the outer periphery of the container body as in FIG. Therefore, the desired tubular portion 52 and / or the box portion 7 can be filled with a filler as needed, or can be used without using a filler at all.

The upper connecting plate 10 is provided with a pair of upper and lower locking shafts 11 which are fitted and locked in the upper connecting hole 8 on the substrate, and a total of eight upper and lower locking shafts 11 corresponding to four positions. ing.

Similarly, when the bottom portion 3 of the upper container-shaped member 1 and the bottom portion 3 of the lower container-shaped member 1 are connected so as to face each other, the lower connecting plate 20 is used. This lower connecting plate 20 is attached to a location where four corners of the bottom portions 3 of the four container-shaped members 1 of the vertically and horizontally adjacent container-shaped members 1 are gathered and four lower connecting holes 9 are gathered. The lower connecting plate 20 is provided with a pair of upper and lower engaging shaft portions 21 which are engaged with and engage with the lower connecting hole portion 9 on the substrate, and a total of eight upper and lower engaging shaft portions 21 corresponding to four positions. (See FIG. 8). Here, when the container-shaped members 1 are connected vertically and horizontally on the same plane, they are not connected vertically. Therefore, as shown in FIG. You can use it.

As a method of connecting the container-shaped members 1, when the container-shaped members 1 are connected vertically and horizontally without any gap,
As shown in FIG. 8, the connecting hole portion 8 provided in the container-shaped member 1 arranged without any gap between the locking shaft portions 11 and 21 of the upper connecting plate 10 (see FIG. 6) and the lower connecting plate 20. , 9
The space is narrowed to correspond to. Further, when the container-shaped members 1 are connected to each other with a gap vertically and horizontally, the locking shaft portions 11, 2 of the upper connecting plate 10 and the lower connecting plate 20 are connected.
The mutual intervals of 1 are widened so as to correspond to the connection hole portions 8 and 9 provided in the container-shaped member 1 which is arranged at regular intervals (see FIG. 7).

When the positions of the adjacent container-shaped members 1 are fixed, the upper and lower connecting plates are made of a rigid material (hard synthetic resin material) and the adjacent container-shaped members 1 are swingably connected. In addition, it is preferable that the upper and lower connecting plates are made of an elastic or flexible material (synthetic rubber or the like). In the above embodiment, the upper connecting plate 10 and the lower connecting plate 20 are provided with the locking shafts, but fixing means such as bolting may be provided to integrally fix the adjacent container-shaped members 1.
